“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” (John 7:37)
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, West Kentucky has been updated to D1 drought phase (moderate). If this is moderate, I'd hate to see severe! Walking through the yard is like steppin' on Doritos. My tomato vines have red tomatoes on top, but the vines are already half-way dead. The field corn's gonna be ready to shell in a couple of weeks if this keeps up (and the ears aren't lookin' like they have a bunch of grain on 'em). Beans are twistin' up in the field, and even the oak trees are sheddin' burnt leaves!
It's amazing what a little water does to a parched landscape. One weekend of rain will transform a dry, crispy yard...into a green pasture. Just a passing shower opens up every leaf and blade of living vegetation as it cries out for moisture! Just a few drops of water will change everything. Water = life.
Our spiritual landscape is no different: water = life. We are to always have a thirst, and this thirst is what constantly brings us into the presence of the Lord, because that's the only place we can have our thirst quenched. We can try our best to satisfy our desires in other aspects of life, but the only water that gives eternal life is that which comes from Christ. We all thirst...but what water do we thirst for?
